kids say the darndest things...

Last thursday was the last day I was in school, because of friday grad classes. I was teaching the Spanish 1 classes the geography of Latin America. Why is it that we're so bad at knowing where other places are in the world? Are we really that self-consumed?? Ill stop there with that, that would be a whole other issue and take away from the point of what I'm saying.
So my focus class is 4th hour, right before lunch, so they're always a little fiestier than any of my other classes. So we were going down the countries, south from Mexico, and we got to Honduras, a country that I've visited and that the kids know I've been to because I told them the day before. I asked the class if anyone knew the name of the country and that I had talked about visiting there... and one of the kids yells,"Starbucks!"
Now this didn't come completely out of no where. In the presentation I gave about myself the day before, I also shared with them my love for coffee, so he showed that he remembered... It just cracks me up! A country called Starbucks.... that would definitely be where I would want to live!
Anyway, kids are funny. And I can't wait to hear what else they say throughout this year. I'm looking forward to getting to know my students. That's good, right?
My mentor and I have also gotten to have some amazing conversations about faith and trusting God and following Him. I'm starting to see why this is exactly where God wanted me for this year, that He had this all planned out the whole time. It's given me so much peace, I'm not really worried about anything. Not a thing... it's that peace that transcends all understanding... that's what I've got...
